Season 39

[July Fourth]

Nah, I don´t belive in counterformations. Also, I´ve been beating 4-1-4-1 formations in the CL & CUP with my 4-1-2-1-2. But the main point wasn´t that I lost - it was how/the way I lost. The commentary board didn´t make any sense at all. It didn´t even specife the players that scored/took the free-kicks/corners... It kept switching inbetween the sentences.

'I've never experienced anything like this. But fu*k it, it wanted me to lose and I lost my first league game for the season

I've had games like this with my power trained squad, drew a number of games in the league in the last 4 seasons and I even lost 2-1 last season in a league game and had about 20 games where I won by the odd goal. so it means in the last 4 seasons about 80% of my games have been confortable wins in the league with about 15% being close wins and 5% of games being fail.

But when your 10-15Q above most of the rest of the teams in your league you tend not to need the counter formations as they are mainly recommended for weaker teams facing stronger opposition.

Yeah, but the funny part is that I´ve been playing against this guy for 3 seasons (both league and cl) and I´ve beaten him like 7 of 8 times (despite if I use 442 diamond, classic or 4-1-4-1 my self). He is playing the 4-1-4-1 formation for 3 seasons now and It´s like "his" thing.

He managed to beat the group leader in his CL group (E) a couple of minutes of go, so I will probably have the honor to avoid him in the knockout stage

I've got a friend team that I played many seasons in the old cup format and it took me ages to crack a way to beat 4-1-4-1 and that was to throw the kitchen sink at the formation by playing a very aggressive 3W-4-3 against it, It seems like the 4-1-4-1 doesn't like it if you try to hammer it with an aggressive formation, but I don't know if I goot lucky that day or not because it was against a team 8 quality higher than me and I probably wont face such strong opposition like that again that plays the 4-1-4-1.

I could try it in the return (30/4), but I only have 2 ST in my disposition. I could go with a 3W-4-1-2 or 4-4-2 Classic as well (since it worked last time we played).... Or I could use his 4-1-4-1 formation against him, hmmm

Thanks anyway!

I can say same formations with better quality does the job unless troll comes out.

Champion's League, Day 4

Omer SK [3-2-2-2-1 Butterfly] 0 - 3 New Team [3-1-4-2]

A rather disappointing performance against a Q19 team (we are like...2,2 times stronger? Jeez) proved that game engine is on a rampage for the second consecutive day. We started, and kept for all the match, with a crushing 70% ball possession and the bar in our full favour as usual. Callaghan got us the first goal from a early free kick (6'), and from that till the half time all was shown was us pummeling them down to bits but constantly being stopped by 1* or 2* defenders. Schneider failed two consecutive chanches sending the ball to nowhere.
In the second half we started from where we left it letting in Fubuki Shirou (DR) and Patrick Everett (DL) along with Johnny Mason reforming our usual 4-1-2-1-2 not to be trolled, but to troll back. The history repeated as we kept pressing the goal zone until Schneider (the only one between midfielders ad forwards still at 0 goals this season) found the right pass for Mason. The navigated ex captain after having failed a one on one this time strikes in the 2-0 (77'). Shirou close th curtain with a magistral free kick before the end of the match (83').
We hence won 0-3 with the opponents unable to sign even a tiny action in 90', and STILL having at the end the same amount of shoots then us (14/14 6/9). New Team peaks 15 points with 19 goals scored and one conceided. Voices reports Coach Mad's weird face when controlling match's statistics:
